[PATCH -tip 0/9] locktorture: Improve and expand lock torturing

[Davidlohr Bueso]

This set includes general updates throughout the locktorture code.
Particularly support for reader locks are added as well as torturing
mutexes and rwsems. With the recent locking changes, it doesn't hurt
to improve our testing infrastructure, and torturing is definitely
one of them. For specific details about each change, please consult
the actual patches.

o patches 1, 4, 9: misc changes.
o patch 2: new doc, based on rcutorture's.
o patches 3, 8: torture new locking primitives.
o patches 5, 7: add support for reader locks.
o patch 6: fix a minor race in the torture cleanup path.

Really no particular order, please consider for v3.18.
